Finally the republicans are beginning to stand up for America instead of Norquist and the pledge. That 36 republican senators voted to eliminate ethanol subsidies is a small but significant sign that Norquist is loosing his grip on the GOP. It is about time the republican party voted for the elimination of tax subsidies for the sake of America's fiscal health. Let us hope this is just one of many steps toward a workable and more financially secure future for America and her people.
Is this a sign that Republicans finally understand the fiscal predicament and tenuous economic situation facing the U.S.? It would be a miracle if they would acknowledge that Bush II, his administration and the elected Republicans in Congress are responsible for the outrageous spending and war costs associated with the 8 years they held the White House. If America and the world are lucky this will not be permitted to happen again.
